Models Among the Crowd.

Among the crowd which pushed its way
along the line Of pictures at the Paint and
Clay club reception, it was interesting and
sometimes startling to see faces which had
been reproduced on the canvas. The models
were evidently out in force, probably to
see what the public thought of zone" picture.

On the old gray terrace where we had parted,

Where the sunlight slept and the swallows daTted,

To the grand MILFORD she has welded lately,
The gouty, tyrannical, rich marquis.

And the stir of a long forgotten passion
That fiuttered her bodice of gold brocade.

Demise of Miss Wolfe. the Richest
Unmarried Woman in America.

NEW YORK, April 4.-Miss Catharine LorIl-
lard L. Wolfe, daughter of the late John
David Wolfe, an old time hardware merchant
of this city, died Of diabetes at her residence,
135 Madison avenue, this morning aged 60
years. Her mother was daughter of Peter
Lorillard, the elder. She was probably the
richest unmarried woman in the United
States. her father having died in 1878, leaving
her sole heir to his immense estate. She de-
voted nearly all her time to charity. She was
also great patroness Of art and literature,
her residence being stocked with works
of famous painters, rare books and costly
bric-a-brac. Among the most prominent
OF her charitable deeds were the building Of
the newsboys' lodging house, the Grace
house, in the rear Of Grace church, and the
American chapel at Rome, which cost S25,-
900. She was also member of the various
charitable societies connected with the
Protestant Episcopal church. The Wolfe
fund for the support of infirm clergymen was
established by her. Her last donation was
the purchase for $4,000 of large house in
Lafayette Place to be used as residence for
the Episcopal bishops. Her collection of
paintings is valued at more than $500, 900,
and includes ''The Holy Family" by Knauss;
Cattle Scene' by Rosebon: THE Christian
Martyr" by Gabriel Max; "Horsemen," by
MISSIONER; Turkish Dancing Girl" by Ca
banel; ARAB HorSeman," by Frometin
Seattle Group" by Troyon and ''St. Marco,
Venice" by Klein. Miss Wofe's wealth may
be estimated at 81, 100000, half of which is in-
vested in improved real estate. She will be
buried Thursday from Grace church.

LONDON, April 4.-Lord Selborne, in an

After similar reference to intimidations,
boycotting and nOn-payment of rent, he
said:

warfare by such means is the assumption

CINCINNATI
The Labor Candidate for Mayor
Makes q Close Run for VicfOIy

CINCINNATI. April 4.-The most inter-
esting. uncertain and surprising election for
years was that of to-day. The uncertainty
all arises from the unexpectedly large vote
for the Labor party and from its queer dis
tribution. 1t was at first thought that this
party would draw its strength more from
the Democrats than from the Republicans,
but returns now in show heavy drafts in
Republican districts, especially in the Ger
man quarter. The Eleventh ward, Ger
man ward, hitherto Republican strong
hold, has been carried by the Labor party.
There are 165 precincts in the city. The
election was carried on in perfectly good
order. A clear space of 100 feet on each
side of the polls was kept all day by the
non-partsan police, whose authority was
respected. Voters passed the ordeal of
ticket peddlerS outside of this limit, but
within and at the polls no electioneering
was permitted. The judges and clerks were
SO carefully selected by board of elections
that there is no suspicion of a false count.
II p. m.-The board of elections has Just
completed footing on the head of the
ticket, which shows w. Ii. Stevenson. the
Labor candidate for mayor, to be elected by
ten votes. The figures are: Stevenson, IT.
Ala; Smith (Rep.). 17.404; Matson (Dem. J.,
11.547. They have returns from all the
precincts in the city, OF course with such
q result the official count will have
to be awaited for the real yer.

dow in the insane department of the county
Jail this noon was not noticed by the guards
They saw her few minutes later, however,
make her way leisurely towards the big door
of the Jail yard, and the guard. supposing her
to be domestic employed in the Institution,
opened the gate and let her out. She was
Emma Janderson, a domestic from Hyde
Park, and was brought to the jail to-day suf-
fering from melancholy. Shortly before noon
she was allowed access to room overlooking
the Jail yard. Over window in this room
was placed a wire screen held in place by
means of paddock. This lock the insane
woman succeeded in wrenching from its fas-
teuing, and drawing aside the screen she
lifted the window and jumped out The fall
did not injure her and a few minutes later
she gained the sidewalk on Michigan street,
and started rapidly west in the direction of
Clark street. Her escape was discovered q l.
most Immediately and she was captured and
taken back to the Jail.

The exercises opened with a triumphal

Quoted by Rev. Francisco Borghi. This
was followed by Latin address from Rev.
Mooney, of Chicago; solo by George

Frederick Rocker, of Albany; an English

poem by Henry Newry, of New York. The
nnal chorus was composed by Rev. Fran
cisco Borghi. Cardinal Gibbons sat under

the walls OF which were festoOned. Among
those present were Archbishop Carr, Bishop

Cardinal LangenieuX was present short
time, and congratulated the students.
AT the conclusion of the exercises Cardinal
GlpDonS, with marked emotion, expressed
Keen appreciation OF the tribute paid him.
he said the tribute came from the students
hearts, from the hearts Of the young filled
with sanctity and devotion. The students
were destined to be co-workers In the vine
yard of the Lord in their glorious country,
their absence from which enhanced their af-
fection for it. Their studies in Rome, far
from absorbing, would strengthen their love
OF their country, and their religion would in
tensify, elevate and ennoble their patriotism.
IN the American people composed Of various
European nauionalities. one of the most grCt-
lfying features was the rapidity with which
these become assimilated and welded to-
gether, forming united whole, so that after
the first or second generation nearly all
traces OF old natiouaitieS have disappeared.
American students in Rome would return
home with their minds filed with knowledge,
their hearts with faith to work amid 10, 900, ,0G0
or people that form one united country,
strong and indissoluble. In conclusion he
said: "fou as students, and likewise band OF
brothers, will return, having one faith, to aid
IN planting and spreading that faith, and in
time take our place in the great work Of the
Lord"
